நூறாண்டு வாழும் காதல் இது
நாள் தோறும் பாடும் பாடல் இது
பூங்காற்றை யார் திரை வைப்பது
பூ மேடை மீது ஆடும் போது
This is a love that will live for a hundred years,
This is a song sung every single day.
Who can place a curtain over the gentle breeze,
When it dances upon a bed of flowers?
நூறாண்டு வாழும் காதல் இது
நாள் தோறும் பாடும் பாடல் இது
This is a love that will live for a hundred years,
This is a song sung every single day.
வாசம் வீசும் கொடி
வார்த்தை பேசும் கிளி
வாடும் சூழ்நிலை ஏன்
நீயும் நானும்
குளிர் நீரும் மீனும் என
சேரும் நாள் இது தான்
A fragrant creeper,
A parrot that speaks words,
Why is there a wilting situation?
You and I,
Like fish enduring the cold,
Today is the day we unite!
காலம் தோறும்
விழி நாலும் சேரும்
எனக் காதல் தீர்ப்பெழுது
தூக்கம் ஏது
உனைத் தீண்டிடாது
எனைக் தாக்கும் ராப்பொழுது
Across all time,
Our eyes meet every day,
Let love write its final verdict.
Where is sleep?
Without touching you,
The night time attacks me.
வாராய் பனிப் பூவாய்
உனை விழியில் சுமந்து நடப்பேன்
வந்தால் இடம் தந்தால்
உந்தன் மடியில் விழுந்து கிடப்பேனே
Come like a snowy flower,
I will carry you in my eyes as I walk.
If you come and give me space,
I shall fall and lie on your lap...
நூறாண்டு வாழும் காதல் இது

நாள் தோறும் பாடும் பாடல் இது
This is a love that will live for a hundred years,
This is a song sung every single day.
மலையில் உருவாகும்
மேக மூட்டங்கள்
மனதில் உருவானதேன்
The clouds that form over the mountains,
Why have they formed in my heart?
நதியில் உருவாத நீரின் ஓட்டங்கள்
விழியில் உருவானதேன்
இதழ்கள் பரிமாற இதயம் பசியாற
நான் தொடும் தாமரையே
முகில்கள் மறைத்தாலும் மோகம் குறையாது
வான் தொடும் கூன் பிறையே
காலமும் வாழ்வது காதலடி
காதலுக்கே இல்லை சாதலடி
The flow of water born in the river,
Why has it formed in my eyes?
As lips exchange and the heart satisfies its hunger,
Oh lotus that I touch!
Even if clouds hide it, passion does not lessen,
Oh crescent moon touching the sky!
Love is what lives through time, my dear,
Love knows no death, my dear!
காலமும் வாழ்வது காதலடி
காதலுக்கே இல்லை சாதலடி
தடுப்பவர் வந்தாலும் காதல் ஆவேசம்
பிடிப்பதை விடாதடி
தரையினில் எந்நாளும் நீல ஆகாயம்
தவறியும் விழாதடி
காதலியே கண்மணியே
கூண்டை விட்டு வா வெளியே
ஆனந்த வானத்தில் நாம் இனி பறந்திடவா...
Love is what lives through time, my dear,
Love knows no death, my dear!
Even if opposers come, love's passion
Will not let go of what it holds, my dear!
On this earth, the blue sky
Will never fall down by mistake!
Oh beloved, my darling,
Come out of your cage!
Come, so I can fly in the sky of happiness now...
